Mother Board:

CPU:

http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDe ... ory=BROWSE

With tax and shipping and such, it comes out to $140.99

Anyone else have a better deal? It sucks though at the moment, because I only have $46 right now

um 2500 is good thats what i have especially if u like overclocking

cuz the 2500 is the last and highest of the barton class and the only one that can be unlocked until u get up to the 53fx series

so its a good buy if ur not into hardcore shit cuz they do run pretty hot so hopefully u got a good cooling system in ur case

as for the mobo meh prob can go alittle better

maybe try gigabyte see what they have

but thats a good buy if u don't have a shitload of money to burn

Yea, and the weird thing is, I chose that shit by myself Just wanted to get some opinions on this stuff. I'm lookin to overclock my cpu as well. And I already have cooling picked out, so It should be fine. So far 2 ppl say its a good buy, so I think I'll keep that stuff bookmarked.

Yea I would. I added you to my MSN so we could talk

The 2500 is supposed to be a good buy from wot I've heard (looking to upgrade in the next few weeks myself) can be oc'd to 3.0/3.2 speeds fairly easily apparently.

For the mobo the nforce 2 chipsets are supposed to be better than the via ones (note I am not anti via I have a via mobo atm & its fine, if a little old). One thing I would check on is compatibility with ur graphics card best bet is to check forums of ur graphics card maker & the forums for the mobo ur looking at, this will usually tell u if theres problems.

For myself I'm getting a MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR because I asked on the forums (sapphire ) specifically for ppl to post motherboards that were known to work with my graphics (9600xt) after hearing ppl having problems with the asus a7n8x series & dfi lanparty boards.

Hth

Don't s'pose u'd care to share those oc tips would u? I'm a complete newb to oc & wont be doing it straight away, but would be nice to know for future reference
